Also, I keep getting more and more concerned about how people conveniently forget that the second amendment provides the right to arms for the purpose of maintaining a militia. When's the last time the militia protected our shores from invaders? And how many gun owners are in a militia?

I would consider the right to protect oneself to be as fundamental.
And not agreeing with the liberal's interpretation of the wording of the second is different than "conveniently forget(ing)".
